This #caturday work on our cat mobile game continues! This time, hand-drawn frames brought to life through WAN Video 2.2 using a ComfyUI workflow by GegenDenTag that we modified. It's amazing to see your characters start moving on their own. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #catgame

Countless hours of selection, sculpting, painting, and refinement. Countless iterations. Every day my horses get closer to my ideal. 😌 And I suffered greatly to make this almost seamless animation. Please give me a cookie. 😄 #creaturedesign #horseart

I saw them in one of my past dreams, or maybe in one of my past lives. It was strange: I knew who they were, but I couldn’t remember their face. But it reminded me that there are humans, overhumans, and transhumans. #worldbuilding #gamedev

Our website just received a full makeover! More on our philosophy and what's coming next can be read there. Check it out: coolestcatslab.com #CoolestCatsLab #GameDev #IndieDev #EdenoftheSun

Smiling doesn't come naturally to me, but today is an exception. I hope you all feel the same.

We Are Building a World For Dreamers & Dragonslayers #dragontuaesday #gamedev #indiegamedev #conceptart

This #caturday, we’re excited to share another small project we’ve been working on. It’s a cute 2D mobile game where you step into the role of a caring cat owner, nurturing trust and creating a cozy life together. #gamedev #indiegamedev #characterdesign

I’m not sure if this was a dream or something else.. #comfyui #stablediffusion #SDAI #ACE-step

A surprisingly good result for this horse using #TRELLIS2 in #ComfyUI. The face is a bit off, but the overall proportions are mostly correct. Not quite on the level of Hunyuan, but still quite usable for a local workflow. Happily sending it to Blender for further refinement. #gamedev

We are building a world. A big and complex one. We use every tool available to bring it to life. And we try to fill it with everything we love. Even these wooden paintings I like to make in my spare time are part of the story. You’ll see them in the game too. #acrylicpainting #horseart #folkart

Sunday mornings are my favorite time for reading and writing. This morning, I spent a few hours organizing a large volume of notes I've accumulated over the years so that I may finally publish them. I'm not ready to publish anything today, so instead I'll share this quote. #longform #philosophy

The result of a successful FLUX LoRA training for the goddess of our world @holylouna.bsky.social #aigamedev #gamedev #flux #comfyui #conceptart #worldbuilding #characterdesign #originalcharacter #OC #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev

We are animals. #OC #characterdesign #OriginalCharacter #FictionalCharacter #ModelOC #Worldbuilding #CharacterDevelopment #ArtificialCharacter #genart #stablediffusion #comfyui #technopaganism #neopaganism

The core principle of our environment art is atmosphere over decoration. A location must feel alive on its own, before the player ever sets foot in it. #gamedev #aigamedev #ai #ArchitectureFriday

What is post-fantasy for us? We love classic fantasy, but we’ve outgrown identical dragons, elves, and orcs in endless medieval settings. We’re reimagining the genre by merging its roots with the modern world, post-apocalypse, and a touch of sci-fi. A new world is coming. #gamedev #dragontuesday

#dragontuesday 🔥🐲🔥

We are developing a diverse ecosystem of tamable animals, with each species designed to have its own unique abilities, gameplay roles, and distinct personality traits. #aigamedev #aigame #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #conceptart

Animals are a central part of our philosophy and artistic vision. I keep refining their designs, blending different shapes and textures to achieve unexpected, stunning results. It almost feels like real genetic selection, and I genuinely enjoy the process. #gamedev #stablediffusion #aigamedev

One of the main goals of our environment design is to convey a sense of anxiety and alienation, while still preserving a kind of haunting beauty. I hope we’re succeeding. #aigamedev #aiart #gamedev #conceptart #aiassisted #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #visualdevelopment

Two #CoolestCats attended Teefa's Movie Night on #VRChat! 🎬 We definitely looked like we’d wandered in from another dimension, but what a blast! Huge thanks to the friendly community for the warm welcome. More of this, please! ✨ #VRChatCommunity #VRChatEvents #Metaverse #SocialVR #VirtualWorld

Pressing a button and getting a beautiful image is easy. Making it reflect your inner world is not. That’s what I’ve been doing my whole life, long before AI. I use AI as one of my tools, but not exclusively. That’s why I feel like an outsider in both the traditional art and AI communities. #art

I created this simple character in Hunyuan3D using a single image of my own design in a couple of minutes. It also offers improved game-ready topology and simple textures. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close. It still requires a lot of work, but it saves a ton of time. #gamedev #aigamedev

We live in fascinating times, friends. I can hardly believe I created a full 3D model in just a few clicks: - Extract the bed from the concept and generate a high-detail version, using Gemini - Feed the image into Hunyuan3D to generate the low and high-poly meshes, and textures #gamedev #ai

The most interesting things happen by accident. Just look at this cute little girl. Isn't she beautiful? 😇 #aiart #stablediffusion #horror #darksurrealism #gamedev #aigenerated #aiartcommunity #characterdesign #creaturedesign #indiedev #aigamedev

I've been working a lot on concepts for the game lately. And it might be obvious that I'm a big fan of the early Silent Hill games. 😅 I’m trying to capture the feeling I had when I first played those games, something the latest entries in the franchise sadly lack. #gamedev #aiart #darksurrealism

@holylouna.bsky.social walks through our liminal spaces, which we’ve been working on a lot lately. #gamedev #indiegame #aigamedev #aiart #aigame #gamedesign #aigamedesign #conceptart

We always dreamed of building our ideal game: not something small, but something only huge studios could afford. Now the studio is no longer required. New AI-driven tools finally let us turn that dream into reality. #gamedev #indiegame #aigamedev #aiart #aigame #gamedesign #aigamedesign #conceptart

I think that's enough of my real art for today. These are some of my favorite pieces from recent times. I left my Artstation link in the comments if anyone wants to see more

Continuing the series about my old works: art for the album Eight Eyes “You Either Die” (2018) (a band from Arkansas that played alternative rock, featuring John LeCompt, former guitarist of Evanescence). #art #traditionalart #aiart #gamedev #sculpture #surrealart

No sexy images today. I just want to share with you some art I've been doing over the years, long before AI came into my life. That's because I'm working on a big project right now that requires me to dig up all my archives. 🙃 #art #traditionalart #aiart #gamedev #sculpture #surrealart

I’ve spent the past few days creating horses for the game They, are very important to our artistic vision, and I want them to look exactly as I imagine Our database for training combines multiple techniques from hand drawing to synthetic data My Stable Diffusion results: before and after #gamedev

Making synthetic horses #art #aigamedev

She is perfect. #Gamedev #aigaming

The world is changing, and gamedev is evolving with it. Soon, creating the game of your dreams won’t require a studio; just vision, creativity, and the right tools. The future of gaming is in the hands of the creators themselves #GameDev #IndieDev #AI #FutureOfGaming #Innovation #CreatorsRevolution

Stealing images from medieval artists to train generative models for our game. I hope they’re rolling in their graves right now out of sheer rage. #AI #Gemini #StableDiffusion #LORA #AIGamedev

AI is a tool: for bad people to harm, for good people to fight. By rejecting the tool, you give bad people an advantage. #AI #gamedev #NoAI #AIArt #Art
